This mode enables you to set the machine to automatically add front and back covers using a different type of paper from that used for the main document. In addition, you can decide whether the front and back covers are copied on as well.

• For information on the modes which cannot be set in combination with this mode, see "Combination of Functions Chart."

• If you select the Staple mode when a finisher is attached, you cannot staple more than 30 sheets of A3, B4, or A4R paper, or 50 sheets of A4 or B5 paper.

• When printing on special types of paper, such as heavy paper or transparencies, be sure to correctly set the paper type, especially if you are using heavy paper. If the type of paper is not set correctly, it could adversely affect the quality of the image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty, or the paper could jam, and a service repair may be needed.

• If you are copying on the front cover, back cover, or these sheets are included in the count of the total number of copies made. If these sheets are left blank, however, the machine's counter does not count them as copies.

• If you want to set both Add Cover and Insert Sheets, select the same paper size.

1. Place your originals → press [Options] → [Add Cover].

2. Specify the settings for [Front Cover] and [Back Cover].

• Press [Front Cover] → select [Leave Blank], [Print on Front Side], [Print on Back Side], or [Copy on Both Sides].

• Press [Back Cover] → select [Leave Blank], [Print on Front Side], [Print on Back Side], or [Copy on Both Sides].

• If you select [Leave Blank] for the front and/or back cover, the machine inserts a sheet of paper from the paper source that you selected in step 3 to be used as the print's front and/or back cover.

• If you are using paper that already has printing on it (e.g., company logo) as your front and/or back cover, then you must select [Leave Blank].Otherwise, the machine will copy on the preprinted paper.

• If you select [Print on Front Side], [Print on Back Side], or [Copy on Both Sides] for the front and/or back cover, the machine inserts a sheet of paper from the paper source that you selected in step 3 to be used as the print's front and/or back cover, and then copies on the front side, back side, or both sides of the front and/or back cover.

• To cancel a selected feature, press that key again.
